Announce: Material Skin

[d6jg]

The player shown above has Smart Gain on and I can see RG in Browse modes

[d6jg]

RG values are only shown if LMS is actually using replaygain.


???

I mean on Playing where you have • 3 of 12 on the same line. I assumed that was why you don’t show RG there when Tech Info is ON for Playing and the player in question has RG or Smart RG on

ReplayGain values are included in Browse mode if you select in Interface settings but not in Playing.

RG values are only shown if LMS is actually using replaygain.

Obviously to do with string length.

Just an observation.

NB. All my music has ReplayGain tags but actually I’m not in the least fussed by what they actually are only that they work! I can’t really see the value in showing them up front at all since they are easily accessible anyway.

It was not my idea to add more config but it was an idea to change the default. Could you please point me to the file where the order is set so I could make a local change for myself only?

The file is item-links.js However material minifies source code for release, so you will not find this in a released version.

Sorry but I'm not going to add more config for this. You can already configure whether artist is before or after composer and conductor.

Did previous versions work OK? Does the same effect occur if yo are looking at the large now-playing and the track changes? For 3.5.0 I changed the way these images are set, from an "img" tag to a "div" with "background-url". But for 3.5.2 I've reverted back to "img" tags, so perhaps this will resolve the issue.

I'm not sure if was happening before. I suspect I would have noticed it if it was.
I found the lock/unlock of the device forced some sort of refresh and the image then appeared.
Edit: Tried this trick again and could not repeat it. So lock/unlock did not get the updated image reliably.

Tried with the large now-playing ...
text updates but not the image ... but if I then go back to small and then large again, it now shows the new image.

For classical music, I think the performers (artist and band) relate closer to the conductor than the composer. For me it makes more sense to have the performer and the conductor below eachother. So, the composer becomes first or last instead of in between the performer and the conductor in the now playing screen.

Would it be an idea to change the order of the following;
Performed by
Composed by
Conducted by

My suggestion would be to change it to;

When not showing the context in the interface, I think it makes sense to also change the order to: composer - artist - band - conductor

Running latest official release and am seeing in desktop mode on old iPad (iOS 12j that the small square cover art at the bottom is not updating when new track plays. The artist title do update and the info at the top of the screen (including cover art) does update.
If I click on the image at the bottom to view it then I see the updated version not the old one that is present in the view.
could well be an anomaly with oldiOS WebKit.

I actually prefer seeing the "0.00dB" value for tracks when Replay Gain is in use and the track contains a replay gain tag with a value of '0' so, for me, this is a feature and not a bug.

Ditto! That way, if no value is stated, I know that I have neglected to add RG tags to the file. A displayed value of zero tells me the tags are there, even though not needed in this case.

So do I.

When I said non-zero, its actually >0.000001 or <-0.000001 - perhaps this should be ">0.005 or <-0.005" ?

[Edit] on Second thoughts perhaps I shoudl convert to 2 decimal places first and then jsut check non-zero (assuming Javascript you can check !=0.00?)

That makes sense, the peak amplitude is 0.999969 rather than 1.
